Hello there, a sightseer from the country of Norway. I have came to express my opinions on this intruiging location. This is absolutely a natural wonder, I would like to do this sojourn ten times over just because of how gorgeous this little exhilarating lamppost is. Usually a very busy place but if you go early in the morning as me and my family did for my little brother's birthday, the wait times are non-existant and makes the experience much more peaceful considering theres much less crowd.. a 10/10 days trip. Must recommend for everyone who needs a break from a boring life.
Went for an evening visit with my daughter after hearing about this legendary lamppost......sadly we were both rather disappointed. Granted it was dark but the lamppost was not very well luminated, we actually couldn't see the dinosaur. As for parking, considering we were the only visitors it was very hard to find a parking spot. We will give this another chance........probably not on a cold, wet, dark and windy sunday evening 😀 😉
I never thought I’d use the words “life changing” and “lamppost” in the same sentence, but here we are. This dinosaur lamppost is hands down the most amazing piece of functional decor I’ve ever seen. I came all the way from Spain just to see it in person, and let me tell you, it was worth every kilometer. If you are on the fence, just DO IT. Whether you are a dino or lamppost nerd, this is pure magic.
